First Outing of the Year: Southern Pines I, March 9-10

I believe SPI is exactly 10 weeks away and I haven't been on Mick for the past week, due to ice, mud, and snow. But I am planning to go because it is a great venue, have a bff who lives in SP, and it will get our feet wet at Prel before resuming (knock on wood) Intermediate.

So, who else plans to be there? I *may* have BF coming along to play golf but would love to get together with others while I am there. Of course, we'd be coming in on Friday and leaving on Sunday.

I'll be there with 2 (one Prelim and hopefully one at Novice making his USEA debut). Our new farm is literally right around the corner from the CHP, less than a mile. So I see an "After XC party" in our future

PM me or I'll try to find you in stabling, looking forward to meeting you in person!

Maybe I should look at the omnibus in the near future! I have no plans, other than hitting up a few of the jumper shows, CTs, and a few dressage shows over the winter (hopefully one next weekend). I would love to go to SP, but I don't know if it's in the cards! I probably won't do anything until Morven.

Great! I think I have stabling, down the road from my friend's house, at a very cozy place. If BF comes, we will stay somewhere else, otherwise, I will stay with my friend. It is probably better if BF does NOT come along because he is not horsey and will probably be aghast at my very bizarre, nervous competition weekend behavior, in concert with passing out at 8 pm, leaping up at 4:30 am, yadayada! Definitely up for an after XC partay and getting to meet up with you and hopefully others! Prel does XC on Saturday so I will be totally relaxed after that. Will PM!

You can travel with me. I have a large trailer and only one lone horse going.... but I may stay with a friend or bring BF so housing would probably be up to you.

Thanks for the offer! It's more than covering the barn/vacation days than actually getting there, though (and hotel, etc...though, if I drove myself down, Stella and I could borrow my BFF's winter camping gear and sleep in the gooseneck!).

Mr. PM will be there. . . and ACME - will expect an invite. . . . good thing you weren't on the carriage with me today. The local Hoke County shooting range, cool temps and a green pony provided some unexpected thrills. (But no spills )

We are skipping this time because we are hopefully going to be taking advantage of an amazing training opportunity this spring. After recovering from my injury and horsey's injury, I hope we'll make a blazing comeback at Longleaf!!!

Wow, sounds like we have lots of folks going. I've only been on here for a bit (in between "jobs" along with crappy riding weather has left me with TIME), and meeting up with people at events is a big PLUS. After SPI, I am planning to go to Fair Hill (April) where I will be looking for a cheap place to stay/share.
